The population in Sweden's metropolitan areas is expected to increase sharply and the Nordic is forecast to be among the most urbanized regions in the world in the near future. A effect for the growing population in cities is a greater need for high-capacity transport and high-capacity systems within the city limits.

In the first part of the thesis, government-published reports, surveys and other relevant literature are studied based on a qualitative analysis methodology to identify the different planning principles used when planning urban development in connection with traffic systems and transport infrastructure. The identified planning principles are then applied in four established plans across the area of ​​Pampas / Tomteboda in Solna and Stockholm municipalities. Thereafter, it is examined how each proposal affects the ability to build dense urban development in Pampas / Tomteboda
